Catch of the Day

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — An East Tennessee angler recently reeled in the largest paddlefish in the state’s recorded history, according to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

On Tuesday morning, TWRA shared a photo to its social media featuring the Kingston man, Henry Dyer, with his state record paddlefish which weighs a whopping 149 pounds and measures 79 and 5/8″ long and 44 and 3/8″ in girth. Dyer reeled in the prehistoric-looking gilled creature out of Cherokee Lake.
